Former AFL star and media personality Garry Lyon has slammed Western Bulldogs' tall Tom Boyd for his form this season, or lack of for that matter.
Boyd moved to the Western Bulldogs in 2015 on a seven-year, seven-million dollar deal after being taken as the number one pick by the Giants in the 2013 AFL draft.
Since his move south, the 22-year-old hasn't been able to live up to his potential or million dollar price tag, although he did play a crucial role in the Bulldogs' 2016 premiership.
While Boyd has had his struggles off the field in recent years with injury battles and personal issues, Lyon was critical of his efforts in 2018.

“(Josh) Schache’s young so park him, Tom Boyd was so disappointing on the weekend,” Lyon told SEN Breakfast.
“He’s just got no presence, like he wasn’t getting to contests, he was rucking and playing forward.
“Mason Cox played a game three weeks ago in the wet, I don’t know if he took a mark, but he had a big influence on the game because he contested, he controlled the drop of the footy and there was a predictability and a consistency about where the ball is going to go.
“They’re not getting any of that out of Tom and I know he’s had a lot of difficulties and we’re always mindful of that, but I just watched the game on Saturday and I had to say, he’s been enormously disappointing this year.”
Schache who spent two seasons with the Lions before moving to the Bulldogs has only played two games this season.
In 2018, Boyd has averaged just over 10 touches, three marks and barely 12 hitouts per game playing in the ruck and up forward.
He has only kicked five goals this season.
The Bulldogs are sitting 14th on the ladder with just four wins from 11 games.
They have the bye this week before travelling to Adelaide to play the Power in round 13.
